At Rest

Deadly force
Hearst was the tenant in a building recently sold to an NYPD officer. When the off-duty officer dropped by to collect rent, an altercation broke out. Witnesses said construction worker Hearst was the aggressor. He was fatally shot three times. The officer was acquitted of manslaughter.
This record exists so that Byron Hearst, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
